Best to post a thread in the Buy and sell forum for your particular region.
 
Hey josh ... they are pretty hard to come by here in columbus, it took me a long while to find mine. That being said, here are a few options I found --

Some of the Jack's stores (Easton especially) will special order them for you ($60-80 probably for medium size)

Aquarium Adventures has 4 very large ones FS at $150 each i think.

And last time i talked to RJ's out in Hebron they had them "not tiny we only get them when they are decent size". So im guessing ~3" but i never went and checked them out. They didnt know what kind they were, and i didnt ask a price, but they usually have pretty good fish at fair prices. If you call them they are very helpful over the phone.

You may want to check craigslist, they do pop up here in columbus from time to time. They are never super cheap, but sometimes you can find reasonable prices.
Cleveland Craigslist always has breeders selling very reasonable as well.

You can check these guys out, I havent dealt with them, but i know others who have and speak highly of them:

And if you have a decent amount of cash laying around, this is the place to go. They are pricey, but top of the line:

hope that helps
 
There is a breeder down in Florence, KY (bout 1.5 hr drive ) that I have purchased from before that has some nice ones for a good price and then the guy that runs aqua art is breeding them out of his basement. I got a couple from him last time I was up there and they look to have good shape and color. PM me for details on either one of these people if interested...

And yes, I live in KY, but am up in Columbus on a regular basis and have seen them on Craigslist and what not, so I look when I come up...
 
yea i think thats what im going to do is take a few of my flowerhorns up to rich in plain city i seen the one he has
but thanks 4 all the info guys
ill check it all out!
 
There used to be on here. Don't know if he still has discus. He had some nice ones at one time. He is in Ohio.
